Mississippi’s first distillery first opened in 2010 in Madison. The new, larger space will allow the distillery to produce more spirits, including whiskey. Current brands include Cathead Honeysuckle, Cathead Pecan, Bristow Gin, Bristow Reserve Gin and Hoodoo Chicory Liqueur. The company distributes spirits to 14 states.

Saturday’s grand opening event will begin at noon. Visitors to the distillery will be able to taste Cathead’s products, enjoy live music and “local nosh.” Tickets are $10.
